Welcome to a new school year!

Hello!

Welcome to Room 7!  We are excited to begin the new school year.  My name is Catie Stone and I will be the lead teacher in the classroom this year and Megan Eustice will be the Teacher Assistant for Room 7.  We are eager to get to know the children and families we will be working with this year.

Transitions to new classrooms and new schools can be tough - especially the first few weeks of a new school year.  To aid in this transition, we ask that families establish a consistent drop off routine with their children, starting the first day of school.  This will help your child with predictability and they will eventually take ownership of that routine as the school year continues.  It's important for parents to be positive, matter of fact, and consistent at drop off time.

Each family will be invited to join our Class Dojo account so we can send private pictures, update you on classroom happenings, and send direct messages throughout the day if needed.  Parents can download the app for Class Dojo on their phone and get instant notifications when we add updates.

Some families have asked if there is anything we need for our classroom for the new school year.  At this point, we can let families know that we love non-toxic houseplants, Hot Wheels cars, or any books you know your child loves that we could keep in the classroom. We also encourage families to bring a family photo to keep in the classroom in a frame.  This will help your children feel like their whole family is part of our classroom community.

We are so excited to get the school year underway and can't wait for everyone to get settled in. If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know!  Have a wonderful day.

Catie Stone & Megan Eustice
